A friend and I just started a weekly women's group ride a couple of weeks ago. We have both been mountain biking a year or so and wanted to find other beginners. It has been so fun, and we have already met some really cool women.

We posted our ride time on the local mountain biking association Facebook page and web page. Some women heard about it from their husbands or boyfriends who ride. We live in a fairly rural area, but 9 women showed upon week one, and 7 on week two.

If you want a local women's ride, start one! Even if you are the only one who shows up, you are committed and ready to ride, so it's all good.
